Project Description

Share a little about the materials, processes, and techniques used to create this cake
Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Chocolate Cake, Gum Paste
What are you most proud of?
It's hard to find something that I was proud of. The icing got too soft and I should have put it in the refrigerator for a while. I started at the top, working down and had trouble with the last rows.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
I did use candy mold coloring, and it is a brilliant color. Keep the butter cream cold and be sure to gauge the amount of icing for each color. I had a hard time with the bottom rows because of the platter the cake was on and the icing starting softening. Practice.... Practice
